Hi all.
Having a problem with a warning light. It is saying eloys, pat oil needs topping up. My local garage cleared the fault but it came back on.
When we checked it took very little to top it up. Been advised it could be a electrical problem, has anyone had same problem.

Regards DAVE

Dave, guessing spellcheck has altered your message.
If it’s PAS (power assisted steering) that is referred to in the message, the reservoir for it is in the engine bay just below the passenger side headlight.
If you can access it and follow down to see if you can check the plug and wire condition. If your car’s under tray has been left off it could be that this has been attacked by road grit and muck maybe accelerating corrosion in the pins or actual wire damage. To get a really good look or do any repairs the wheel liner may need to be removed.
